Answer:

Gender-Based violence refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender. It is estimated that one in three women will experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender-based violence (GBV) involves acts of violence committed against women, men, boys or girls, as a result of social norms about roles and behaviour expected of each gender. It often occurs within relationships.
